For those that don't get / don't read their junk mail, BigW are now selling a Mambo dragster. As per all Mambo bikes, the quality will probably be on the lower end of the scale, but could be a good fun bike to customise, use for parts etc.

I had a look at the dragsters in there the other day. Everything looks pretty solid (heavy), welding is pretty ugly on the frame, no lugs, nice to see the frame with the twin tubes matching up with the top tube at the seatpost rather than sitting lower like some of the cheaper 70's originals. Seat is much better padded than the originals although suffers in appearance because of this.

Not showing on the website atm but they did have a black and red Mambo cruiser with 26" wheels, that's the one i was referring to, but i had a look at one on the floor a few months back and the frame was way too small. I would love a Micargi Mustang after seeing one at a LBS but they want $1200.

When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.

If you want an adult size cruiser keep an eye on ebay for second hand brand name cruisers like Electra, Dyno, Kustom Kruiser, Schwinn, Felt etc. I picked up this Kustom Kruiser below for $150, but realistically you're looking at $300-$400ish generally. Just watch out for ones that live by the ocean and have lots of rust.
